[Merge] ~lucaskanashiro/ubuntu/+source/python-traceback2:fix-ftbfs into ubuntu/+source/python-traceback2:ubuntu/devel

[Lucas Kanashiro]

You have been requested to review the proposed merge of ~lucaskanashiro/ubuntu/+source/python-traceback2:fix-ftbfs into ubuntu/+source/python-traceback2:ubuntu/devel.

For more details, see:

This package currently FTBFS because it build-depends on two binary packages that are not available in Focal:

* python-fixtures
* python-testtools

My first idea initially was to remove the python-traceback2 binary package and consequentially all its python 2 dependencies but its removal would require changes in many other packages. Check part of dependencies' chain below:

$ reverse-depends python-traceback2
Reverse-Depends
* python-unittest2

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
$ reverse-depends -b python-traceback2
Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep
* unittest2
$ reverse-depends python-unittest2
$ reverse-depends -b python-unittest2
Reverse-Testsuite-Triggers
* contextlib2
* python-debian
* webdis

Reverse-Build-Depends
* configobj
* contextlib2
* python-concurrent.futures
* python-debian
* python-oauthlib
* python-phabricator
* python-zipp
* webdis

Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep
* python-funcsigs
* python-future
* python-linecache2
* python-mock
* python-traceback2
* python-trollius

To avoid changes in many packages during beta freeze, my proposal is just to remove the build-dependency on those two binary packages (python-fixtures and python-testtools) because they are test dependencies and do not run build time tests.

Here is my PPA with the proposed package built:
